Low level anxiety

Hi everyone, I am in the process of waiting for an ultrasound scan next week on a small lump in my neck. I was diagnosed with breast ca 3 years ago this month, and I had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy. I was then started on Letrozole which seems to be without too many issues. I try to tell myself its ok to be scared and at least I am in the process of finding out if anything needs to be treated, but every single twitch, ache or remotely unusual odd feeling, I am off down the 'it spread every where' mode. :( I encounter oncology and its world every day at work so know how people react to it, how families react and what happens in most situations, good or bad. The things is it is wearing me down, especially with my own cancer journey. Love what I do and cannot imagine what else I would be doing, so a difficult one. Feeling run down emotionally, but physically able to do 50 hours plus most weeks. Sorry for the long story but trying to calm myself down internally, whatever the outcome have to crack on!

    You've got a job you love to do, attitude to match well done what you've done and still doing. 

    I can understand where you're coming from every little twinge or ache. Starting you thinking is it or not. 

    I've got prostate Cancer that's gone to lymph nodes, spine, ribs, pelvis and a lung. Been on palliative care since February 2016.. Still having odd ache and pains now and again and think same. 

    I'm just living with my uninvited guest as long as possible. And also looking after my disabled wife she needs 24 /7 care she has Alzheimers and parkinsons plus other brain problems. It keeps me occupied so i don't think to much about my own problems..

    Keep positive thoughts and actions you'll be ok good luck with results..
